Florida’s baseball team apparently found a clever way to avoid a loss in Tuesday’s game against Stetson. Down 10-1 at home in the fifth inning before a lightning delay occurred, the game was suspended due to the weather. Following a long break, Florida decided not to resume or reschedule the game — effectively making the game’s events up to that point null and void.
These two tweets are from the official Stetson twitter account:
We are now in a lightning delay here in Gainesville with Stetson leading Florida 10-1 in the top of the fifth. Game is not yet official.

Florida has decided not to resume tonight's game and has refused to agree upon a day to continue. The game effectively did not happen.

This, of course, made several fans point back to the infamous rescheduling of the LSU football game last season.
Sounds familiar…. @LSUfootball @GatorsFB

That's the risk you run when you play #UForfeit

Do these fans have a point, or are they just upset that LSU choked on the field against Florida in Death Valley?
